...highest toilet in Arizona...



...we decided to stay in Flagstaff a couple of nights and take a breather from the long drive from Glendale...it turns out we were in Flagstaff almost to the day two months earlier...seems like yesterday....one of the things we didn't get to do when we were there in June was go to Snowbowl, the ski area....Snowbowl is part of the San Francisco peaks and is one of the oldest ski runs in the US...it started back in 1938....so off we went...it was a short drive and a 25 minute ride up the lift...it was in the low 5os at the top...a very cold 25 minute ride back down....the view was spectacular...seeing the black diamond runs and blue trails brought back all kinds of memories from skiing in Europe when Bill was stationed in Germany....I guess the skiing days are over but at least we can still enjoy the areas and ride the lifts until getting on and off become a problem...he he....





....blue spruce pine cones...



...an aspen grove...




...could not resist taking a picture....
